Cheap New GeForce 8800 GT Challenges $400 Cards

J. Dzhugashvili writes "What would you say to a video card that performs like a $400 GeForce 8800 GTS for $200-250? Say hello to the GeForce 8800 GT. The Tech Report has tested the new mid-range wonder in Crysis, Unreal Tournament 3, Team Fortress 2, and BioShock. It found that the card keeps up with its $400 big brother overall while drawing significantly less power and — here's the kicker — generating slightly less noise."

Yup

But does the $250 card make people online you will never meet in real life think that your penis is gigantic like the $400 card does?

I don't think these videocards are aimed at farmers.

I spend 250 dollars for a night out at a nice restaurant with my wife, especially if a nice bottle of wine is included.

Why wouldn't I spend this on a one time purchase that will provide hours and hours of entertainment for up to 1.5 years?

Well, for starters, there's the fact that you already spent it all for a night out at a nice restaurant.

Only on Slashdot...
